yuun mohabbat ko umr-bhar paDhnaa — Bashir Mehtaab

zindagi fan nahin madaari kaa
paaniyon se diye nahin jalte

hasin yaadein vo bachpan ki kahin dil se na kho jaaein
main apne aashiyaane mein khilaune ab bhi rakhtaa huun

ik bevafaa ke pyaar mein had se guzar gae
kaafir ke pyaar ne hamein kaafir banaa diyaa

apni kamar se aap hi baandhe safar tamaam
phir yuun huaa ki main kabhi apnaa nahin banaa

jise manzil samajh kar ruk gae ham
vahin se apnaa aaghaaz-e-safar thaa

tum mire paas jab nahin hote
dhaDkanein ehtijaaj karti hain

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

sach bataa ishq mujhe sakht pareshaan huun main
kyuun khafaa hotaa nahin dost khataa par meri

harf aane na diyaa ishq ki khuddaari par
kaam naakaam tamannaa se liyaa hai main ne

chuTkiyaan dil mein mire lene lagaa naakhun-e-ishq
gul-badan dekh ke us gul kaa badan yaad aayaa

mohabbaton ke hasin khvaab le ke aankhon mein
'bashir-badr' ko paDhtaa huaa vo ek laDkaa
